The land sale for the first phase of residential was supposed to happen at the end of April with building permits being issued at the beginning of this month. I don't see anything on the city of Minneapolis permit page for the 2225 E Lake parcel but I'm not sure if the apartment permits would be on that parcel or another one (though it's still one parcel in Hennepin County GIS)

They've started work on the new MPS building. The pile driver has assisted my alarm clocks the past few mornings. Unfortunately the construction trailer has been already covered in graffiti...something the neighborhood struggles with.
